Therefore, with the activities of preparing a roadmap for the supervision of NPP is a positive thing as a means of knowledge transfer.

Other important results of this meeting in general DEN in a position to support the realization of the development of the first nuclear power plant in Indonesia and related to the formation of NEPIO will certainly be carried out by DEN. Then, related to the problem of high costs is a reason that is often used as the main barrier for the construction of NPP. The funding of the NPP later in addition to its physical development also needs to be considered also with the funding of HR preparation. DEN will explain to the Ministry of National Development Training/Bappenas regarding this condition.

Roadshows, cooperation and collaboration with relevant institutions are important for network strengthening. Roadmap can direct us to prepare ourselves in welcoming the construction of NPP. RDMS can be synergized with the preparation activities of NPP supervision. And the most important thing is, the fulfilment of 3S element (safety, security and safegard) should always be the main reference in the supervision of NPP. [BHKK/Bams/OR/RA]
